The implementation is the next phase of the PSC’s NG 9-1-1 service system plan, adopted by the PSC in 2017 and resulting in Nebraska LB993 signed into law April 4, 2018. The plan provides a comprehensive strategy and holistic approach to transitioning from enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) technology to NG 9-1-1.

The MCP project team will provide technical assistance during the implementation of the plan. MCP also will help Nebraska realize additional benefits as it deploys NG 9-1-1, including the opportunity to regionalize and share costs and resources, as well as the ability to share operations in real time.

MCP and the Nebraska PSC began working together in 2017 when the commission partnered with the firm to develop a statewide NG 9-1-1 plan. The public-safety answering points (PSAPs) supported by the Nebraska PSC serve nearly 2 million residents and process more than 1 million calls annually.
